Parmesan
Mozzarella
Pinch of salt

Olive oil
Tomato sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap chicken in plastic wrap. With a meat pounder, pound the chicken pieces to flatten them to an even thickness - between 1/4 - 1/2 inch. Salt the chicken pieces well. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, and pinch of salt. In separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs. 3. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. The oil should be shimmering, not smoking. 4. Dredge the chicken pieces 1 piece at a time in flour, then in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumbs/parm/mozzarella. Then lay the pieces in the hot sauté pan. Turn the heat to medium, then gently fry the cutlets until they are golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side. 5. Spread enough tomato sauce to thickly coat the bottom of 9x13 casserole pan or baking dish. Once the cutlets are browned on both sides, arrange them on top of the tomato sauce in the baking dish. Place sauce over each of the cutlets. Sprinkle the tops with sliced basil. Then top the cutlets with slices of mozzarella and the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. 6. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the mozzarella begins to brown.
